A priest who admitted to molesting a Michigan boy has been sentenced to 7 to 15 years in prison. A judge in Genesee County sentenced Jason Sigler Monday.

Sigler (pictured, left), 65, will also have to undergo sex-offender therapy as part of his sentence handed down in Genesee County Circuit Court in Flint. He was charged with molesting a 13-year-old altar boy at St. Robert's Catholic Church near Flint, Mich., in 1975, Local 4 reported. He is also reportedly charged with molesting the boy's younger brother.

Sigler pleaded guilty last month to abusing the 13-year-old boy and no contest to abusing his brother. In exchange for his pleas, prosecutors dropped other charges and agreed not to charge him if other allegations surface.

Sigler was sentenced in January in Wayne County to one year in jail and five years of probation after pleading no contest to a reduced charge of second-degree criminal sexual conduct in River Rouge.

Prosecutors said Sigler molested a 12-year-old boy in the 1960s while he served at St. Mary Magdeline's in Hazel Park. The assaults allegedly took place in a River Rouge house.

Sigler, his wife and friends said Sigler recovered and is not a threat to young boys any more.

His wife wrote to the judge:

"Jason is not the predator as portrayed by the news media, now, nor in the last 20 years. He feels his victims' pain, and understands the emotions of these victims, relates with them. He forgives his accusers," the letter said.

Sigler voluntarily left the priesthood in 1982.
